The Commons is a unique and treasured setting, and it must be protected, preserved and cherished by all who call Little Compton home. It is the heart of our town, a place that belongs to every single person in our community.

Little Compton has developed into the beautiful and thriving town it is today because of the decades of work and guidance of those who came before us. Over the years the fishermen, farmers, laborers, religious, teachers and families have contributed to the very foundation of our beloved town.

If our forefathers stood in front of any one of us today, what would you say if they asked, “Why after years of growth and prosperity would you give away control of the very soul of our town?”

Little Compton has rallied before when there was a need, and we will rally again to preserve the very essence of our town. To relinquish the properties at 30 and 32 Commons known as the Fire Barn and Odd Fellows Hall respectively to an outside organization for the next 99 years would be detrimental. Our children and their children and their children to follow will never know the beauty of the Commons. Please become knowledgeable on this critical town issue and be proactive to ensure the Commons remains under our watch.
